My friends are standing a few feet away I turn to Rilwan who’s standing by me “You are here, right Rilwan, I’m not imagining you?” I ask, still trying to believe he’s standing before me.
“Yes. I’m here, Ms Bankole. We arrived a few hours ago.”
“Is…is he here?” I ask as my heart begins to race. I point to the exit.
“Yes, he’s in the car.” I raced for the exit in my heels. I probably looked ridiculous, but I didn’t care. He’s here is all I’m thinking, my heart racing with excitement, my Gent is here. Pushing past my friend.He’s here. I can hear my friends trying to catch up to me. I exit the lounge and all I see are cars all with headlights and loud music, just ridiculous but then again this is Lagos. I don’t know which car. I just stand there looking around. My friends are beside me.
“Jade, what’s wrong?” they ask.
I do not respond; I just keep looking for him. So many headlights. I see the tall shadow coming towards me, I know it’s him without seeing his face. It wasn’t logic or cognition as I raced to him on gravel stones in five-inch heels and tight clad dress. He moves faster and lifts me off the ground in a hug. I wrap my arms around his neck in exhilaration. He set my feet down once I started kissing his neck. I didn’t care about my surroundings. I claim his lips like today is my last day on earth and this moment is my last dying wish. He responds equally. My surrounding is a distant memory as I ravish Naseer’s mouth and all of him. Molding my body to his.
“Jade!!!” I hear Tito shout my name.
“I’ve missed you,” I say when we finally break from the kiss. He frames my face before bending to kiss my neck. I arch my neck to give his lips room sending a shiver through my body, it never gets old every time he does it.I’m a goner for this man.
“Come and meet my friends, they won’t let me leave, if I don’t introduce them,” I say when he stops kissing my neck. he nods. Hand in hand we face my besties.
“Tito and Lolade, this is Naseer.” They size him up with a long look. Tito’s eyebrow arches. Lolade is salivating.
“Hello, ladies.” He says, with a possessive hold on my waist and the other hand out for a handshake.
“Hello.” They both respond shaking his hand.
“Hope you don’t mind me taking my lady tonight. I came to surprise her.” He looks my way, and those magical gray eyes engulf me keeping me still in a swift moment of lust, his look is always my undoing. Our eyes whisper what our lips couldn’t say in front of my friends. We need to get out of here.
“We don’t mind,” Tito says jolting us back to reality, just as Lolade intensifies her stare of Naseer.oh no! Her mind is working. She’s our social update keeper, she’s going to know. I didn’t tell them who Naseer is, I’ve always just said Naseer.
“Are you Prince Naseer of Rhanaz?” Lolade asks, giving him a quizzical look.
“I am. Is that okay?” he says giving them the panty-dropping charm.
“Oh shit.” Tito blurts out, as her eyes bulge like Fourth of July fireworks.
“Lolade, what time should I show up for the wedding?” I quickly change the subject and calm their expressions on the newly released information about my princely boyfriend.
“Maybe you need to miss this wedding,” Lolade responds. I look at Naseer. I’ve missed him, I didn’t realize how much until now.
“Yeah, maybe I’ll miss this one,” I respond without taking my eyes off him.
“Tito, you got me, right?” I state. She knows the drill and tells her mom that I’m staying with Lolade. That way no questions asked.
“Yes, I got you.” She winks at me “And, you and I need to talk later.” she says giving me a look. I’ve withheld life-changing crucial information from her.
“We will, good night.” I hurriedly say. They head towards Lolade’s car as I cling to Naseer.
We rode in silence to the Eko Hotel. Our minds are consumed with glaring desire, oozing from every pore, but from the outside, we are just a man and a woman sitting quietly in a car. The ride was fast at this time of the night, thank heaven for no Lagos traffic after midnight. He held me close, the moment we stepped out of the car. I continue to cling to him. As we rode in silence to his suite, the ride felt longer as we clung to each other. I bet Rilwan can sniff the jolting need for us to tear at each other. We are calm because he’s with us on the ride. The intensity of craving is seeping out of us. Rilwan says good night once we enter the suite.
The first thing I do is kick my heels and claim Naseer’s lip like his tongue is the last drop of life on earth. Ignoring the beautiful layout of the suite. He in return possesses my mouth in a way that sends shivers through my body. His lip moves to my neck, he knows my erogenous spot and right now he’s hitting every mark setting my body ablaze. “Turn around Jade,” he says. He pulls the zipper and reality hits instantly.Damn, I forgot. My body tenses up right away.
NASEER
Jadepullsawayfromme once she’s out of the dress, her back to me. I get in front of her, and she avoids my gaze and buries her head on my chest, I inhale her lavender smell. I gently lift her face between my hands to look at me and she closes her eyes, there’s tension in the air. She doesn’t pull away from me, trepidation hits, is she about to make a confession that will shatter my heart? What I heard this evening doesn’t show any evidence of that, but could she have cheated and now feels contrite that she must confess before anything happens, but our kisses are passionate, I feel that and I know that.
“Tell me lady, what’s wrong,” I implored softly. She shakes her head, her lips pressed into a thin line. “Open your eyes.” I plead. She reluctantly complied, but this time no emotion registered in her features. Can I let her go if...?
“Gent,” she whispers her voice trembles. “I’m embarrassed,” she said quietly. “I have a wild garden down there; I didn’t care before because no one was going to visit the place. But now that you surprised me...I don’t think I want you to see my wild-grown garden with weeds.”
Her coy face and her sad tone brought an overwhelming sense of relief for me, and I laughed with joy—my heart pounding with love for her. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her forehead as I whispered in her ear, “I love you so much Jade, and I’m glad that you were not able to prepare for this moment. Your imperfection makes you my perfect match; it’s when you’re messy that you’re most beautiful to me.” She looks at me as I slowly push the dress off her body.
